She was saying that Jesus drew a line in the sand, and I still don't know what she even meant by that? Can you shed some light for me? <BR/>Maybe you'll have to do it in post form, but either way, I still don't understand what she was saying? <BR/><BR/>Because it seemed as if she was saying "yes, Jesus would be a conservative because He did draw a line in the sand." And I honestly don't even know what that could mean. Even if that paints me as ignorant, I still want to understand where she was coming from...<BR/><BR/>:) Thank you for putting up with the political discussion,<BR/>HeatherHeather of the EOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14607422301391841377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756714016745143007.post-70359593343344567392008-10-05T20:18:00.000-05:002008-10-05T20:18:00.000-05:00Oh, and I love your description of our Bible study...Oh, and I love your description of our Bible study group.

My big feelings have a lot to do with the idea that only conservatives have values. As a Christ-follower and a political liberal, I take issue with that.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06924784279928092348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756714016745143007.post-46653326617369602642008-10-05T15:20:00.000-05:002008-10-05T15:20:00.000-05:00I agree with you Lisa.

I thought it was really interesting that the lady at Bible study thought she could do that. What's interesting to think over for me is the idea that a lot of conservative people have that Jesus would be a conservative. THere are people that are VERY sure of that. I have often wondered why. Since there are beautiful aspects to both sides of the issues that align themselves with biblical teaching. I hope that makes sense. :)Heather of the EOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14607422301391841377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756714016745143007.post-26948551465007519422008-10-05T15:13:00.000-05:002008-10-05T15:13:00.000-05:00I think it's silly to decide what party Christ wou...I think it's silly to decide what party Christ would have belonged to. I definitely think there are arguments on both sides for Christ-like values, but I really don't think religion needs to come into it. If people feel that what their religion teaches them makes it obvious TO THEM that they should vote a certain way, more power to them, but I don't think Jesus would have us arguing over which is his political party (and should therefore be ours).
